Nov. 23, 2007, Syncrosoft announces Soft-eLicenser

Hamburg, 23.11.2007, Syncrosoft announces the availability of the Soft-eLicenser.

Syncrosoft, known for its highly secure eLicenser™ anti-piracy solution, today announces the general availability of the Syncrosoft Soft-eLicenser™, a security component which turns the Syncrosoft eLicenser into a solution that fully integrates hardware- and software-based copy- and intellectual-property protection with secure digital rights and license management.

Syncrosoft Soft-eLicenser™
The Syncrosoft Soft-eLicenser is a pure software-based protection module and provides the same feature set as the Syncrosoft USB-eLicenser, but on a different security level. With this extension of its product portfolio, Syncrosoft supplies a solution for software vendors, who are in need for proven security against piracy on one hand, but on the other hand want to offer trial or OEM versions of their software products without the need for supplying USB protection keys to their customers.

Once protected with MCFACT, a software application can be released in its different flavors without giving up security on the protection side or loosing control over the different usage models for the software on the license management side. High value products stay fully protected with the Syncrosoft USB-eLicenser, while the Syncrosoft Soft-eLicenser is the ideal choice for the license management of low-cost-, demo- or OEM-software products.

Compatible Solutions
The Syncrosoft Soft-eLicenser is fully compatible with the Syncrosoft USB-eLicenser. Once the eLicenser implementation is done, Software vendors can specify whether their protected software exclusively requires a Syncrosoft USB-eLicenser, or runs with both Syncrosoft eLicenser types. Licenses, either securely stored on the USB-eLicenser or linked to the computer system where the Soft-eLicenser is installed, can be securely transferred between the two eLicenser types.

DRM and Online License Distribution
The Syncrosoft eLicenser comes with advanced DRM and license distribution services. A central license server, hosted by Syncrosoft, is used to authenticate license transactions.

Proven Security
Syncrosoft’s anti-piracy technology is deployed on hundred thousands of PCs. All USB-eLicenser protected software products running on the Windows platform remain uncracked since autumn 2005. On the Mac OS X platform, Syncrosoft protected software has never been cracked since the launch of the MCFACT technology in the year 2000.

Targeted Customers
The Syncrosoft eLicenser is designed for software, games and digital content vendors who do have an interest in protecting their intellectual property against piracy and illegal distribution. Syncrosoft’s advanced digital rights and license management, in combination with proven security solutions, offer a flexible and cost-efficient way to support modern software distribution models and demanding customer needs.
